These are some of the ways that your information may be disclosed:

Government Partners

We make available your personally identifiable information and other information collected through the Site to the government partner with which we have contracted to provide payment processing services on the Site; provided, however, the information made available is limited to the extent the information arises out of or is related to such services provided pursuant to that particular government partner’s contract with the Company.

These third parties are authorized to use your personally identifying information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
